Opposition Alliance Plans National Conference to Address Political Crisis

The opposition alliance has announced plans to hold a two-day national conference next week in Islamabad to address the country’s ongoing political and national challenges. The conference, scheduled for February 26-27, aims to bring together key opposition leaders, media representatives, lawyers, and workers’ unions to discuss solutions for the country’s pressing issues.

The announcement was made at a joint press conference by Awam Pakistan President Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) President Mehmood Khan Achakzai.

Abbasi emphasized the importance of dialogue in resolving Pakistan’s political and economic turmoil. “Problems are only solved when they are discussed,” he said. “We want to play our role in finding solutions and ensuring the supremacy of law and justice.”

The ruling coalition parties have not been invited to the conference, reinforcing the opposition’s stance of addressing national concerns independently.

Opposition Calls for Institutional Stability

Speaking at the press conference, Achakzai criticized the government’s policies, claiming they had pushed Pakistan’s institutions to the brink of collapse. “All institutions are deteriorating due to the faulty policies of the government,” he stated. “If institutions are not on the right track, the problems will never be resolved.”

He warned that the country was facing a critical moment, with rising discontent among the youth due to economic instability and lack of opportunities. Achakzai stressed that constructive dialogue was the only way to restore stability.

Opposition Alliance Strengthens Political Strategy

In addition to the conference, the opposition alliance has decided to expand its outreach and strengthen its position against the government.

As part of these efforts, leaders of the Tehreek-i-Tahaffuz Aaeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP) are set to visit Sindh in the coming days to engage with other political parties. The delegation will include Mehmood Achakzai, PTI’s Asad Qaiser, Sahibzada Hamid Raza of the Sunni Ittehad Council, Akhundzada Hussain, and representatives from the Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) and Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM).

During their visit, the TTAP leaders are expected to hold meetings with the leadership of the Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) to discuss potential collaboration and a unified opposition stance against the government’s policies.

A Growing Political Divide

The opposition’s latest move comes amid increasing tensions with the government over governance, economic policies, and institutional stability. With the national conference set to take place, all eyes will be on Islamabad to see what proposals emerge from the discussions and how the government responds to the opposition’s demands.

As Pakistan navigates through political uncertainty, the coming days will be crucial in determining whether dialogue can pave the way for meaningful change or further deepen the divide between the opposition and the ruling coalition.
